I am ordering a new door handle because mine broke and the epoxy didn't hold and it says paint to match, will this be hard to do, or expensive if i take it somewhere? any advise is appreciated
thanks

Satan is charging me $50 for door handle and $50 for door cap. Both Unpainted. Painting could be $50-$100 I'm guessing. My guy said he'd paint new door handles for me if mine broke for like $50. I don't know what big shops charge though.

my local shop did my handle and cap for 98 painted and installed, everything including the pieces, not too bad, Satan wanted close to 300 for all of it and painted and installed, they're nuts, $98 isnt too bad either
